1.4. SAFETY IN PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BE CAREFUL OF HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE HYDRAULIC OIL Immediately after using the lift truck, the oil is at high temperature. Do not drain the oil or replace the filter when the oil is hot as hot oil may spurt out and cause burns. Wait for the truck temperature to go down before carrying out the inspection and maintenance work. Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under pressure. Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspection before completely releasing the internal pressure. If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is dangerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits your skin or eyes.
Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of plywood to check for oil leakage. If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor immediately. BE CAREFUL OF THE ROTATING COOLING FAN AND BELT It is extremely dangerous if part of your body or a tool in your hand gets caught up in the rotating fan or fan belt. Never touch them when rotating. When inspecting rotating parts, do so only after the engine comes to a stop. When inspecting the areas around rotating parts, do not allow anything to come close which may get caught. JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE IS PROHIBITED Do not push the lift truck to start the engine.
There is danger that the lift truck may suddenly start and operate unexpectedly. 1-21
